Brake chatter?

Post by Monk »

Hi peeps.

Sorry been off work for like 6 month, but finally back to the grind. So havnt been messing much with my truck much lately.



Mt truck has stopped perfect for a year now, but just lately , my brake has been chattering , after a long while city driving . I'm guessing when it gets hot. Just as comeing to a stop it can get loud.

I checked pad and all look great, I wiped my rotors with brake cleaner.



When its cold (first time of the day) its completely normal, zero chatter.



Even after shes on the road for a while MAYBE a slight vibration when I touch my brakes. Then the chatter starts after 1/2 hour or so city driving...

I'm guessing rotors but wanted to get other options?



Everthing looks great, but that chatter , I'm always working brakes to avoid that dare noise hehe

Update.

Ok ,as I had some time today, I removed my rear calipers (thanks to Roy's lessons) and then beveled the edges.



It was a quick job, lol I pictured something long Haha



Plus I sanded (with my sanding grinder) the pads a little In case was any glaze.

I just drove around the block, and seemed good.

But I'll know the real test tomorrow after a long ass drive.



I was surprise to do it with just a 14mm ratchet wrench.

Lol , I was sure I needed that snapon tool, but was perfect. Prob cause everthing was nice and cold .
